The Use of Artificial Intelligence for the Classification of Craniofacial Deformities [PDF]

, 2023
Positional cranial deformities are a common finding in toddlers, yet differentiation from craniosynostosis can be challenging. The aim of this study was to train convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify craniofacial deformities based on 2D images
